Marshalling (heraldry)

Hello, it would be nice, if the aspect of Marshalling (heraldry) can get an own article. There is already a page in wikidata and Media related to Marshalling in heraldry at Wikimedia Commons which could be then linked more effectively.

"Puzzle arms"

I can't find any use of this term except on this page. I've looked at the citations and they don't seem to use the term at all. It looks like this term was introduced in https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Heraldry&diff=prev&oldid=708285686. Does anyone know more about the origin of this term?

Pinging @P Aculeius, as I'd like to know also. Remsense ‥ 论 02:52, 30 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I was "puzzled" myself when I could not find the phrase in Fox-Davies, Bouttell, Franklyn, or Woodward just now—but it's on page 87 of Neubecker, which IMO is one of the best "modern" books on the subject. I may have inadvertently missed citing Neubecker here because it was for a point found in all treatises (though the phrase is from Neubecker), or because the page number duplicated that of one of the other sources cited for the paragraph.

The usual term (meaning: the term that I remember seeing) is armes à enquérir. —Tamfang (talk) 00:06, 31 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I assume the term "puzzle" here is meant in the sense of "puzzling", i.e. peculiar, not immediately justifiable. Is enquérir a verb that has an equivalent sense here? Remsense ‥ 论 00:08, 31 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
